2023 MazdaCX-9 Carbon Edition For Sale

after going back & forth on wether to purchase the pilot, highlander or the CX-9 i went w/ the CX-9 Carbon Edition. didn't even bother test driving the pilot-my last THREE cars were accords-and after test driving the highlander, it was just too slow & felt like a mom-mobile. CX-9 is sporty, classy & drives lile a car. nest purchase i've ever made.

I've owned a few Mazda's in the past and have been a fan of the brand for a long time so when this SUV came out 3 years ago it got my attention. Obviously it looks great inside and out and is a cut above all the other other mid-size 3 row vehicles it compete's against. The new Santa Fe is close. Mazda's reputation for building cars that handle well does apply to the CX-9 albeit with a plusher,softer ride. The concerns about this car having a turbo 4 banger are unfounded. This power train set up is close to perfect and there is no evidence that it will be not reliable in the long run. The car has plenty of power for most driving only lacking some top end power at higher RPM's. The good: Interior fit and finish and usability. Infotainment is now complete with Apple Car Play/Andoid auto. Fantastic feel behind the wheel.. IE driving dynamics. Its just really good. Exterior styling is a 10 in my opinion. Usable power is right where you need it 90% of the time. HUD and other safety features. HUD is a premium car safety feature. The bad: Fuel economy could be a bit better. I'm averaging 21in mixed driving. Interior space could be tight for larger folks. It works for me though. Third row is tight but they all are and I'll never use it. "A" pillars are very thick and create large blind spots. Engine noise is a bit too loud under hard acceleration. Some torque steer under cornering while accelerating. The unknown: long term reliability. If you need a larger SUV/wagon type vehicle that can haul a good amount of people or stuff and want more of a sports/luxury feel without breaking the bank this is your car. I've had Beemers and Benzes and this car legitimately feels and looks as nice.

This suv has surpassed my expectations. The turbo is perfect for when you are merging, passing etc, otherwise allowing great gas mileage for all the space! I get 27 mpg and drive 9 over the limit. On the road passengers always comment on the smooth ride and quiet. My fav is the handling and response. I drive fast and get impatient behind slow pokes so I pass and like the turbo responding promptly. It handles great in curves, was just in the mountains yesterday ✅ I’m very pleased!
